THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

and daughter were returning from the sun
ny South, where they had been spending
some time in the hope that the latter's
health might improve. 1t was found ex-
pedient to return at once aud by various
delays were about one day behind time.
Just above Milford, on the Belvidere Divi-
sion, brakeman who had been watch
ing the afflicted one, saw that the end
was nigh. Experience in the loss Of loved
ones had been his school. He approached
the mother and 10 accents as tender and
touching as those which might como from
the lips Of those whose duty 1t is to adj
minister relief at such times said, MAD
anne, you do not seem to realize II, but
feel it my duty to tell you that your
daughter is dying" and indeed 1t was
the truth, for in few moments the spirit
had fled to the land where suffering is
never found. The kind heart bowed
down with weight Of woe, received the
soothing balm Of consolation from those
every day toilers for bread aud the tear
of sympathy trickled down the cheeks Of
those who had been eye witnesses of the
sad scene. From under the rough ex-
terror Of an honest laboring man there
may be found heart which always re-
spends to the call for aid or sympathy.
One day more and the frail charge would
have reached home and been able to bid
adieu. Let US trust that the loss to them
had been her gain and when the cold and
lifeless clay had been deposited With
them, her bright spirit had been one day
with those of others 10 Paradise.
The Belvidere Division of the Pennsyi.
vania Railroad, is said to have more
church members among its Employees than
any similar road In tho country. This Is
notably the case among the train hands,
and 1t is no unusual thing on very dark
nights, as the cars 60 laundering along,
to hear issuing from the locomotive cab
or the caboose the well known strains of
"Jesus. Lover of My Soul" II Need
Thee Every Hour" aud other familiar
melodies.
The above is going around In the news
papers and is certainly very flattering,
but it must have been on the Pennington
branch where the singing was heard, for
that is the only road where the travel is
slow enough to hear singing, or carry on
a conversation with those o. the engine
The Easton Fire Department win have
a parade in September next. Arrange
menls are already being made TO make 1t
grand affair. The Chief Of this depart
ment has received an invitation to be
present.
We had the extreme qualification OF
paying our usual annual visit to Burling-
ton, on Monday last, to be present with
other members of the family In honoring
day made sacred and dearly cherished,
not on account of St. Valentine, but be-
cause mothers birth occurred on the
eventful day and the celebration Of 1t has
reached unto the nlnetieth.
Every one expected to be the owner of
that silver ice pitcher, who had taken 3
chance on 1t, but only one came out vic
torious, 1t was Capt. Slack.
The Bazaar Is going along very nicely,
the room is very tastefully trimmed and
presents a charming appearance. Beauti-
ful and useful articles are for sale, aud
the aroma from the French cafe, makes
one hungry. As each night passes the
interest will increase.
Uncle Dav i'd Wilson has on exhibition
rare collection of coins and paper money,
which he has saved during the past years.
It will pay to visit the Bazaar, IL for nc
other purpose than to see them. No extra
charge.
The ball and reception of Company E,
Seventh Regiment, at Freehold, on last
Wednesday evening. which we had the
pleasure Of attending, was grand sue
cess. The Company, under the command
OF Capt. Beck, went through numbero Of
evolutions, which were In every respect
perfect and gave universal satisfaction to
those present. Col. Donnelly, Capt. Bam-
ford, Capt. Kulp and Lieut. Maddox,
were there as guests, and were treated
with the greatest courtesy.
We trust the citizens will not forget
that Post 20, are having Bazaar for their
benefit. Remember that in times Of dan
ger the boys stood BY the citizens 1t IL
their time now TO stand by them. Ten
cents il not much, but many Of them
make good amount. Come out and as
sist in making the first Bazaar, grand
success. Everything Is being done to
cheer those who favor them with their
company.
1t is better to DO born lucky than ROB.
Capt. Slack thinks 40.
The State ELcampment, which met at
Trenton. on Thursday last, was attended
by large delegation from this city. The
ladies of the Relief Corps, also turned out
In goodly numbers, too attend the State
Corps, which met on the same day. Mrs.
William O'Daniels was honored by heing
elected Junior Vice Of the Department.
Entertainments are coming 10 our
midst just little to thick. Evidently
the managers iase heard of the boom
taken by our enterprising and live BUSH
ness men, and think 1t just the place to
come. There Is one thing sure, and 1t Is
. fact, that shows do not thrive where
there is no money, so Il we can send them
all away with profits, there must be some
money and some business 10 LambertviIle.
